Are you still mulling over Mira Rajput and her Instagram updates? Or are you gushing over Shahid Kapoor’s half-brother Ishaan Khatter’s Bollywood debut in Dhadak? Well, there’s a third member of the Kapoor family set to make headlines – it’s Shahid’s sister Sanah Kapur set to play a female lead in her next.

Social media has been buzzing with member’s of Shahid Kapoor’s immediate and extended family. While netizens can’t seem to get enough of Shahid’s wife Mira Rajput and her Instagram updates, fans have also been gushing over his half-brother Ishaan Khatter’s upcoming film Dhadak and their chemistry together. Now, another member of his family has made headlines.

Shahid Kapoor’s sister Sanah Kapur, who audiences saw and loved for short bit in the 2015 film Shaandaar where she played Isha, Alia Bhatt’s step-sister in the film. While she didn’t have much to do in that one, she seemed to have impressed director Abhishek Saxena and has landed the female lead role in his upcoming film titled Saroj Ka Rishta.

Sanah is the daughter of Shahid Kapoor’s father Pankaj Kapur and his second wife Supriya Pathak Kapoor. While in Shaandaar, Sanah played a girl who was being body-shammed throughout the film by a moron of a fiancée, in Saroj Ka Rishta too, the actress will dawn a similar role with the backdrop of a wedding and it will delve deep into about body-shaming issues. However, unlike Shaandaar, this one will be a more serious take on the subject.

"I have noticed that body-shaming doesn't happen only with those who are on the heavier side, but also with thin people. The idea germinated from there. The film essentially revolves around a father-daughter relationship with Kumud Mishra and Sana at the centre." – Abhishek told Mumbai Mirror in an interview.

Though, the director wanted to start production on the film last year itself, Sanah wanted to polish her acting skills before jumping on to production. "I took a year to concentrate on theatre to help myself improve as an actor while looking for a script that I wanted to be a part of," the actress told Mumbai Mirror. Finally, the film is set to go into production.
